I need to undo the nuts on both my 84 and my 85 axles to replace the carrier bearings. What do you guys use to remove these? I'd rather buy something to do this. Some sort of wrench. According to bikebandit, its a 32mm nut. Does anyone sell a 32mm wrench to remove these? Same goes for my 83 200x what wrench should I use to remove those as well?

I'd rather not use a crescent wrench or a pipe wrench or something of that sort. Any ideas? Links would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug

I use a big 18" cresent. Lots of torque and no damage. Pipe wrenches are UGLY!!!!! My local Yamaha dealer has big slug wrenches for this.

a big crescent wrench thats in good condition works great... I have a 20 incher thats never done me wrong, nor rounded off any nuts...
